The Shang Grand Tower - 46 floors - 2005
-------------------------------------------------
It's already under construction, right?

[ryanr]

Yes, its already u/c. It will be the country's most luxurious residential tower. A unit costs a lot of $$... According to Francis, it is about 5 storeys high already (right?)

[Francis20]

that was last month Ryan.
Now, construction is already at the 10th and 11th levels...heading it's way up pretty fast. the base and foundation took the longest time to finish.

[ryanr]

Wow, that is fast!! Last December, they were still digging.

[renell]

hmm.. great. it's going up fast. but 2005 is still far away. or is it due 2006?

yup indeed...

it was featured in one of The Star's columns last week. it came with a whole set of shots of the model unit. amazing!! and the rooms looked so big (probably cause of the high ceiling)... it's as if it was in some palace or Malacanang or the presidential suite of some hotel in DC...

[Francis20]

LOL @ Absent/Lance
that means they feature it every week and in each major dailies?
as of last month, about 50% of the units were already sold...
and this one claims itself of not having a single square meter of commercial space, everything will be residential. no skywalks connecting to any of the structures around the area, plus maybe high walls. i forgot the price, it's something like 24 - 50 million? a broker sent me a quotation last year. i'll check it again on my inbox. oh by the way, the feature said it's shaped like a letter "Z" and the occupants of the extremes will have a 270 deg view outside! that's cool!so is the price!

[Edmundtanso]

wow! that expensive eh? how much was roxas triangle going on before? i am suprised they decided not to build the 2nd twin tower because it's one of my favorite building and designed by SOM!

[Francis20]

Shang has more expensive units Edmund. ORT is selling at 28 millions only. but Shang seems to be more marketable than ORT. The twin of which is officially cancelled, too bad. But who knows, in the future, we might see another construction in the area (which is still fenced at present)...this time probably a taller tower. I can actually see the upper part of this tower from where i am sitting at office...and took several photos of it last December.

[ryanr]

And people have enough money to buy units in this baby?? wow....

The features and amenties in this tower might be much more superior than ORT so that makes up for its high cost difference...

[Edmundtanso]

too bad about roxas triangle....not too crazy about the design of the shang though based from the renderings....kinna goddy imo

[ryanr]

I agree. Roxas triangle was clean, fresh and modern. While Shang is nice, but too tacky and full of it. It is overdesigned.

[Francis20]

there's a life size scale model at Shangri la mall at ortigas (as well as on Shangrila hotels), and i got a handout from the sales and marketing guys. it says the floor to floor height is 3.2 m. does that mean the thickness of the flooring is 0.2 m? that would make the floor to ceiling height to be 3.0 m as ive seen from the papers.

[SKYLINEPIGEON]

who owns this tower, it is the shangri-la group

[renell]

says in the top "by The Shang Grand Tower Corp. and EDSA Properties Holdings, Inc"

@francis, most likely, since there has to be some thickness in order to stop sound from the lower floor... so this one is a sure 150m building, and could be more.. it looks like there's something on the roof, a slanted thingy, that could give it more height..

[Francis20]

yes right Renell. who knows, that might be about 5 floors or something. must be housing the elevator and ventilation machines. its now going up real fast. if Manansala goes up one floor in 6 days, this one seems to go up one and a half in one week. hahaha...they must be beating the 2005 deadline? i dun think its doable. probably 2005 or later.

[renell]

well 2005 is only 8 months away, and besides the structure itself, you also have the interior, which is important for residentials like these. so they must be rushing wherever it's possible

[ryanr]

It's sometime in 2005, maybe not the beginning of 2005.
